"All of you all over the country -- please remember that Senate seats are not about a particular state. They're about our country. Every vote I take is not about South Carolina. It's about the United States of America."
-- Sen. James DeMint (R-SC), quoted by The State.
TW: DeMint challenges Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma as my least favorite U.S. Senator (Burris being an unelected short-timer gets a mulligan). But this quote is spot on, anyone who puts on blinders and votes for their senator merely based on local parochial issues is bringing the rest of us into their little world at the expense of the greater good.
